Giants Sign Veteran QB Brandon Allen

He adds experienced depth behind starter Jaxson Dart with Jameis Winston as the No. 2.

Overview

  • New York announced the move Monday on the team's X account, confirming veteran Brandon Allen has joined the roster.
  • The signing reunites Allen with Brian Callahan, who coached him with the Titans in 2025 and now serves as the Giants' quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator.
  • Allen arrives as a depth option on what is now his seventh NFL team and will compete for the QB3 job behind Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston.
  • The 2016 sixth-round pick started three games for Denver in 2019 and five for Cincinnati in 2020, and he has 10 career starts with 1,882 yards and 11 touchdown passes.
  • The addition gives new head coach John Harbaugh an experienced arm for offseason work, which could translate to practice-squad duty or an emergency role during the season.
